Elementary's PagerDuty integration enables sending alerts when data issues happen.

It is recommended to create [alert rules](/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules) to filter and select the alerts that will create incidents in PagerDuty.

## Enabling PagerDuty alerts

1. Go to the `Environments` page on the sidebar.

2. Select an environment and click connect on the `Connect incident management tool` card (second card), and select `PagerDuty`.

3. Authorize the Elementary for your account. **This step may require admin approval.**

4. `PagerDuty` will now be available as a destination on the [`alert rules`](/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules) page. You can add rules to create PagerDuty incidents out of alerts who match your rule.
